The Sleeper car was born in an era where style wasn't everything, but power meant everything. While appearing to be a standard or neglected car, internally they are modified to have higher performance levels, typically referred to as "all go and no show." Some vehicle owners create sleepers by swapping more powerful engines or making other performance modifications, like adding supercharging or turbocharging, leaving the external appearance as it came from the factory. Sometimes hints of the car's true nature are visible: wider tires, a lower stance, or a different engine tone or exhaust note. If you built your own sleeper car, what would it be?

Day 7 of asking for a âSo You Want A Cobalt SSâ
Wtf wants a Cobalt Super Slow đ€Łđ
Mine is pushing 330 whp on just bolt ons and a tune. Super sleeper
@@user-zk5ps5ms1s It goes faster around the nurburgring than a R34 Gtr
@@user-zk5ps5ms1s they are bargains for the performance. No Lift Shift, Factory Boost Gauge, Brembo Brakes and some even had Recaro seats all for under 25k new. Now you can get them for under 10k. They are seriously fast and can push lots of power easily
Itâs an underrated car. The 2.0 turbo ecotec is a really good motor. I have a 2008 HHR SS with some bolt ons (getting a tune soon). It has the same engine and runs like a champ.
Someday I'm going to buy an SS and slap proper Holden and Commodore badges on it to make my family in Australia proud đ
Sooner than later. Prices are going up.
@@Willer31 Yeah it's rough since I'm paying my way through college đ
@@Willer31 couldn't afford a ss. Got a G8
Apparently you can turn caprice ppv into the utes. More aussie, less money
So you want a Mazdaspeed 6
I've been asking for forever. I love my speed6
I was thinking the same. The speed 6 is the ultimate sleeper
@@morgansproul4857 it really is. Especially with a decently quiet exhaust

Own a few. None are race cars but they all put lenghts on cars with 2 more cylinders so its fun. Because of that a sleeper is probably my favorite kind of build.

Yeeeeessss
Everyone sleeps on us đ
Sleepers are awesome, and my family has one as a DD...2018 Ford Flex Limited, AWD, 3.5L EcoBoost (which replaced the 2011 Flex EB we had before it). These cars are a Taurus SHO with a wagon body, and are surprisingly pretty quick and nimble for their size and weight. With good aftermarket tires and a couple of other upgrades, our lunchbox on wheels is able to embarrass other crossovers, without breaking the bank...
There's no such thing as a sleeper car to a car enthusiast just appreciation for a well-built car
Great video! I just pick myself up a 2017 Chevy SS (Holden Commodore) with 20k super charged with 720whp.
As someone who also lives in a small dead town in Wisconsin, I felt this on a whole other level đ© Snow Gang âđ»âïž
I'm a simple man.
I see a chevy SS in the thumbnail, I click on the video đ
Itâs a Holden first and foremost đŻ
Right! G8 đ
"BEST MF THUMBNAIL EVER!" :D .. Owner of one of them beaut's.. About as sleeper as it can get, then you hear that LS3 blow past ya :0
Love the car but I hate to say this. Most definitely not a sleeper for almost all car guys/gals. Not only are they mildly aggressive but most know what lies beneath the hood of that small sized sedan and the tuning possibilities of the stock motor/setup. You could fool some cocky stock 5.0 or camaro owner but if theyâre a real car person theyâl know wassup
Far from a sleeper lol
@@slumygoat Yep, my dad says his looks just like any other regular Chevy sedan but itâs bright red and the hood has some aggressive lines and there are mildly sporty design cues across the car. Definitely not a sleeper IMO. Fun? Oh yeah, definitely!
@@NatedoGP Yes sir
The G8 (its older brother) looks more aggressive imo. Id rather get the rare GXP LS3 than a Malibu.
Day 55 of asking for "So you want a VW Passat W8".
Bro
It's a VW
Get something that's worth your money
On board with this. I almost had a 6mt w8 wagon, but was unable to pull together the funding :(
Nobody wants that sh*tbox of a car

Sleepers has always been the best, just show up too any meet, find the snob guy that keeps bragging & you can be everyoneâs hero by shuting his ass up XD
Iâve got a 2006 S60R and let me tell you, every âsmallâ fix isnât small. Everything is over complicated and fucking expensive as hell. It is a cool car though...
All the Rs just suck money from the owners pockets. Iâve got 13k in my 98 v70R in just the last 8 months
SSleeper Gang all the way.! For sure its a conversation starter for people who have no idea what/s under the hood
I've got one for ya! Just stay with me for 2 seconds here. Factory supercharged v6 that you could own for like under 3k. Your grandma's bubble buick from the late 90s early 2000s. The buick park Avenue. Arguably one of the best sleepers out there. The 3800 is a more than proven v6 while it is front wheel drive you can also find this same engine (not supercharged) in some of the Camaros in the same time period. Those can be supercharged with junkyard heads and a modified supercharger or have one shipped up from the buys down under cause their holdens 3.8 had a supercharger.
There is also a lot of aftermarket support for these engines where you can get performance cams and upgraded springs and lifters. I've even seen turbo kits for the non supercharged variant if that's your thing. These engines are also plentiful. At my local large pick n pull place I can easily find 20+ cars with the 3800 in it and occasionally the supercharged one so there's no worries about blowing it up. Literally this was in almost every gm car in the late 90s
Love that you brought up the 94-96 Impala as a sleeper. You should do a video on just them. Cuz I'm a fan of that year of the first muscle car
Anyone else misread the title like âso you want to sleep in your carâ lol
@WhosPushie Hahaha I did thanks to my dislexia
"so you want a beer canned 1gn Neon with an SRT swap"
đ Iâm so glad u covered the Houston beltway, I drive on that all the time and thereâs so much road rage. đ love you fitment industries.

"So you want a Honda Fit"
But why. I drive them for work and hate it
@@griffinsells2611 itâs sarcasm
I bought a Fit in 2008. Great car. Modified the shit out of it aesthetically and the usual coilovers, wheels, intake, exhaust...I miss that car. The first-gen Fits are fucking SICK, especially with K20 swaps.
@@speedtab215 I'm not
I had an '87 ( that's in the 1900's ) Buick Regal T type LC. It was a GNX except, it was Blue and had a big chrome grille with all the chrome badges and sim/con top. It was great fun to beat down pretty much anything... as long as I could keep the tires from burning down to the rims!
Thereâs no such thing as sleepers anymore. Anything rocking a set of brembos out of the box these days are usually quick lol
Modern sleeper: Kia Stinger GT. True, looks a little sporty but not blow-your-doors-off sporty.
Its name is stinger.. like sting ray..
They made a hsv gtsr which is a âChevyâ ss on roids, has an LSA in it not an LS3
They made much more than that.
GTSR w1 has a LS9 under the bonnet haha 636hp from the factory
@@EvOFusion and all like 6 of them were "prototypes" that were gifted to people.
@@FXIIBeaver there are 275 of them... and 4 of them were malooâs which were given to the head development team.
Not prototypes if theyâre a registered car and weâre produced. In secret, but still produced.
@@EvOFusion then that must be a different car than what I am thinking about. My bad.
I'm glad that MAZDASPEED 6 was there. Yes they have speed in the name, but no one really notices that anyways. Plus debadge very common
After driving a slightly modified G and a stock Altima. An SS or G8 would be my ideal next car
I currently own a 2004 Volvo S60 2.5t that I'm looking to make into a sleeper, and I can tell you personally that a big problem of trying to build a sleeper is a lack of aftermarket support as your vehicle isn't normally modified like you're trying to do so the money isn't there for the big aftermarket companies.
Older Australian commodore cop cars (bt1) are perfect examples, they were the entry level body and styling but with the performance of the top model, with the v8, bigger breaks, stiffer suspension etc. etc. very sought after down under!!
I already own one, a tbss aka a corvette suv and I love here.
When you wish you could say you have a sleeper but It's an econobox.
So You Want a Suzuki Kizashi. I love you.
Looking at the thumbnail any Aussie can tell that VF is making 500hp+ to the wheels.
Only one view and 29 comments?
Makes sense.
Sleeper are fun and great daily drivers. I know plenty of sleepers that sound stock to this day.
That Halo reference was on point.
I actually wanted to build a sleeper car at some point but not too long ago I didn't have enough money for it.
I love my MS6. Just looks like a normal 4 door sedan, but it hauls ass and handles really well, especially given its weight.
I soo love the music of the intro for these videos. But you know what can be a good sleeper. A Honda CR-Z đ
Got all three base set cards: Charizard, Blastoise, and Venasaur. Also got a sleeper 05 v6 mt accord and a slow show car c3 vette.
đ
My 97 accord will soon be ready. I'll definitely pick up a few things from fitment industries, can't wait.
Accord boys I got a 96
@@zesustheguy7631 đ€đŸ Accord crew stand up
Wish I never sold it but I used to own a 1983 E28 BMW which had a 500hp RB30 setup with all the goodies, looked stock apart from the wheels. Much fun was had :)
That look of instant regret when someone in a sleeper sleeps on your sleeper and gets walked....#priceless
Thanks for mentioning the Subaru Legacy. Dreams!
Hey Love your guys' content and website, one thing I would love would be to be able to increase the photo sizes in the gallery!
A sleeper is worth it especially if you live in a country like Australia that has strict car modification laws. my 96 integra is a sleeper and cops don't bat an eye because I never fixed the faded paint and scratches as well as the dents.
"sleeper car" with clarion call giga-decibel straight pipes yeah ok
Dude i was literally was thinking about the Chevy SS and wanted one for 3 months
ASAP. Prices going up.
I own one an saw the thumbnail an got excited an realize the reality of the video đ not a dedicated ss so you want
This guy makes me so engaged in the video i dont want to leave, i dont want it to end...
Just bought a 2018 Fusion Sport. love it but it needs a few tweaks to be perfect
The Mazdaspeed 6 is the craziest sleeper car Iâve personally encountered. And thatâs because I never expected it and didnât see it coming
Just bought my dream sleeper 8 months ago! 2008 Legacy Spec B!!!!
Actually just popped out the motor to finish with the "Stage 2"
Almost 100% stock outside too đ If you're lookin for a fun car to add to your channels videos hit me up!
It's a blast to drive! "When it works..."
Thanks for the AOT spoiler
With shows like this , say goodbye to sleepers and low prices
I had a 99 Chrysler Sebring sleeper, it looked like a polished turd but under the hood it was a monster. Funnest car I've ever owned and one of the fastest too
Hello everyone, Is an 08 forester good for a build? Its not an xt but its in really really good condition and like 3,500, I want to make it a sleeper but im not sure if its worth it. Thoughts?
I daily a 450whp 06 Subaru legacy GT. It surprises a lot of people.
Legacy B4 RSK best awd sleeper if it runs. New Zealanders, Aussies and Canadians know what talking about
those intro edits r cold asff
The Fact i work for them is actually dope
I would like to to think my S60 is a sleeper, but could have more power though.
I guess I will eventually have to âstage 4 itâ. I would love to get my hands on a 2.4 T5 (B5244T5) top for it with VVT on both cams and a bigger turbo and some bigger injectors.
I once had a Porsche Macan S pull up next to me a stop light, he engaged launch control (i heard it) and i was like great letâs see how my (at the time stock low pressure turbo, with a manual M56 stacks up), it was 340Hk, PDK and AWD against 200Hk, 5 speed manual, FWD with 3 people in the car, in the wet, he had only a car length on me. The Porsche guy looked shocked that my 20 year old Volvo managed to keep up, as he let of and looked over to switch in to my lane, i braked lightly as i had just prior ran out of 2nd gear and banning the red limiter.
Wonder who close I could get now that the S60 is tuned 250Hk with 410Nm (stock it had 200Hk 285Nm), Iâm considering down badging it just to Mess with people....
0:42 / Alex literally just described my Infiniti Q50 3.0 Twin Turbo also known as the "Baby GTR" ;)
All I drive sleepers.
My supercharged Lexus is250 with 450hp.
MY Chevy SS with 1400hp.
All my other care are fun decently fast daily.
Next is a Durango Hellcat or Ram TRX Hellcat or CT5V blackwing
I've got a 2005 scion xb and im indecisive as to keep it reliable or dump all my money into it. even if i did dump cash idk what exactly to buy cause there's not a huge aftermarket scene for my car. I kinda want to start with a better sound system and some cosmetics. thoughts?

Iâm glad to see this đ€đ»
I'm planning on building a sleeper not gonna say what, you'll find out on the streetsđ
Chevy SS is so hard to find nowadays and they havenât lost much value. Amazing car though!
Thatâs why that car pisses me off. I thought theyâd be very affordable by now instead theyâre holding value.

Hey, I love my unsuspecting kia that flies by and uses blinkers on the Houston beltway
Genesis sedan r spec one of the best sleepers out there
Wish I got to buy one đ€Šđœââïž
Ford Taurus sho is hands down the best American sleeper. I say this because the new caddyâs with twin turbo v6 and awd still cost to much used for under a 15k sleeper budget. Like slap a 1000$ fuel pump on there and you will be maxing them turbos out!
Lincoln Continental tho.... Same motor, more grandpappy
@@Acrimoniousbear1 no that has the 3.0 tt and itâs freaking expensive asf man đŹ did u not read the under a 15k budget part đ .
Congrats , after this video the Chevy SS is gonna rocket up in price lol.
Theyâve been pricey, because they are kinda rare. The manual ones Are rare though.
I've never seen one in a dealership

Sleeper is good when you don't want looks attractive but want a fast car.
I want to but an H6 motor in my Baja. That would probably be very sleeper
Dang you know what would be dope. So you want an Acura cl type s. Like wow thatâs be so cool
Iâd totally buy the wheels you guys make but shipping car parts to the Bahamas is very expensive and including weight, size of boxes and tax 65% of car parts is too much
my ideal sleeper is my g37x sedan, just need some spinny boys and a quiet performance exhaust to complete my v8 killer dream
Only real ones know the vibes from watching AoT in the backseat
My sleeper car of choice are Volvos. Canât wait to get an upgraded intercooler and a tune on my Volvo S60r.
I found a ratty 05legacy with about 1100hp keeping a top mount. It rides under the radar but the heat soak is crazy you got maybe 2 passes if it's cool outside.
The skoda octavia rs is pretty sleeper. Look like a typical sedan but packs a vw golf gti engine
